It matters not weather they like the idea of this law or hate it, thats is irrelevant my friend. The court is tasked with one question and one question only in each case before them ''is the government granted the authority to pass this law by our constitution''. Currently the question before the court is weather or not the individual mandate is constitutional, not weather its a good thing to have such a law or do they like the law.<br /> As free men and women many americans who can afford health insurance choose not to buy it. They have always considered that they had the ''RIGHT'' to make that choice. This mandate would not allow them to exercise what they have considered their right in the past. The lower courts have not settled the issue to the satisfaction of both sides so the question is now before a court of 9 not 5 but 9 law experts who have studied the constitution for more years than i have lived in many cases.<br /> It is not a perfect system, but its a damned good one. I challenge you to put forth a better one. <br /> Buy the way: the question in this case is not weather the law was passed threw a legal process. No one is questioning that it was passed by a legally elected congress. The question is weather or not said congress wrote a sound law that does not trample any individuals rights.<br /> Your disrespectful and hateful remarks do nothing to bring us together as a nation, and are not helpful in any way. There is a chance they will not decide in your favor, so you forget all about those poor folks whose rights may be trampled to give you what you want. Don't you care about those people? Should they lose their rights because you disagree? Why is every one who disagrees with you held in disregard and contempt? Is all your compassion reserved for only those who agree with you?<br /> I find it very disconcerting to hear liberals talking in such judgmental, hateful, angry terms with absolutely no regard for the concerns of a small minority group who do not want the same law you want. i.e. young healthy people who choose to spend their income on things like education instead of health insurance. We may not agree with their values and choices but I for one agree that they have the right to make that choice. Hateful speech such as yours is a sign of small-mindedness, use of F-Bombs and what not only belittle the user more than the one she/he directs them at.<br /> Grow up, if this law if found to be unconstitutional we can have a better one written. We have a wonderful system, best in human history. I love our system, even when i don't get my way.The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-44686192717557700322012-03-30T12:58:49.276-06:002012-03-30T12:58:49.276-06:00good points.good points.The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.com
